I want to make an app to open another app and click on a coordinate.
I know it is possible in the windows app I'm just looking for a way for android.
I designed an app that opens another app.
+I'm the only user of my app, so it could have any permission that requires.
I won't say it is impossible, probably with some hack, but it is impractical and raises a whole lot of issues. There are ways that Android allows for apps to share data and to communicate, but clicking button in another app, NO.

I have a downloaded app which works only in poland, and recently had to move to the usa for a short period of time.
I would like to run the application here but am getting the "video can only be played in poland" message.
Is there any way I could make the app think I am in my country?
You have to use a VPN. Many offer free data plans (OperaVPN, Tunnelbear, Windscribe, etc...)
Under settings, make sure Developer options are enabled (if not, go into About and keep clicking Build number until it unlocks them).
Under Developer options, use Set mock location app to specify an app for setting your location.

The use case:
I want my kids to do some extra home work before they can play their favorite games on the phone. So, when they try to lauch these apps, I want my app to be lauched first. Only after they have finished certain tasks, say a couple of multiple choice questions, can they close my app and continue to their intended apps.
Is this possible to implement in Android? How?
You could do this -- not with an app, but with a custom launcher. You could create a launcher that knows which apps are the "fun" apps and which are the "learning" apps.
Do a search on "android build custom launcher" to get started in the right direction.

Google Now is apparently part of the Google Search app. It allows users to open the Google Now interface by swiping up from the home button on most devices. While swiping, users can see an overlaid circle with the name "Google".
My question is, how would I, your average Android app developer, be able to make something that acts just like Google Now? I haven't been able to find anything in the Android SDK that lets you do stuff like that. Is it a feature of Android that only Google and ROM developers can use (because it is part of core Android source)? If so, why is it "part of the Google Search app"?
If you have an activity with an intent filter of android.intent.action.VOICE_COMMAND, then when the user swipes up it will ask them what app to launch. If they click to launch your app by default then everytime they swipe up they'll open your app.

I was looking for an app for phones (iPhone, Android and SmartPhone - any or all) that would simply run in the background and place any scanned upc code digits into the currently active textbox.
I've Googled for quite a while and only found an Android app that actually replaces the keyboard of the phone.
It seems like it should be easy (I have many for PCs) but I haven't done any handheld programming since Windows CE days so I don't know if this is possible (can apps see other apps controls in these phones).
Has anyone ever come across an app like this?
use the iphone sdk from zbar and you can do it inside your app.
You cannot do this system wide. You can only add this functionality to your apps.

I am looking at locking down several Android Tablets (Samsung Galaxy tab) to allow the user to unlock the device and be sent straight into one application and not allowed to leave. I was wondering if this is possible without creating a custom ROM and if so how? Any help is greatly appreciated
You might try creating a custom launcher and see how far that gets you. I don't think it will be bulletproof but by adding some hacks like having it auto-launch a specific app, it's probably about as far as you can get without a custom ROM. See here for the code of the stock Android launcher:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Launcher/+/master/src/com/android/launcher/Launcher.java
You could create an app that is more or less "non-exitable" by overriding the hardware buttons' default behaviour in your application.
Although if your app crashes and doesn't automatically restart after a crash, the user has full access to the rest of the system.
